Friday evening challenges activity Think about challenges now. When you return in the morning, you'll sit at challenge tables.
Challenges:
Lack of resources in Arabic and on the GCC area
Lack of time/p.d. to understand how to blend technology in education (iPads, etc.)
No standards for teachers' use of technology/pedagogy?
Lack of sharing amongst teachers (possibly connected to transient teacher population)
Student engagement issues, esp. boys in HS
Literacy - basic/early reading is lacking, move to English-based teaching/instruction/homework is a challenge for parents who are less fluent in English
Transient teacher population (training, adjustments, etc.)
Small percentage of Emirate male teachers (role models)
